Research teams work out of the Bronx Zoo and are supported by a WCS conservation educator and a Fordham University graduate student (Biology).

Additionally, several WCS scientists and Fordham University faculty provide support and advisement.

Altogether, Project TRUE is a 30+ person team working together to support each other and to conduct urban ecology research. After the summer, you will be part of our growing alumni community (nearly 300 in total) that will continue to support you in your personal and professional pathway.
